OBJECTIVE: Explain how to interpret a weather map. DO NOW: Take out Station Model HW INTRO: What are some things on weather map would you expect to see? OUTRO: None

Station Model HW

Station Model HW Temperature = 20˚C Weather Condition = Dew Dew point = 15˚C Wind Speed = 3km/h from the West High Clouds = cirrus Cloud Cover = Scattered clouds Air Pressure = 102kPa

Station Model HW In Miami, Florida, a weather station was inundated with heavy rains from a subtropical storm that moved in off the coast. The barometric pressure is reading 30kPa. Cumulonimbus clouds cover the entire sky, and wind speed of 45km/h are coming in from the East. The wind has chilled the air to a brisk 15° C, with the dew point sitting at around 10° C.

Station Model HW The Las Vegas weather station has observed a record high temperature today of 50° C and a barometer reading of 30kPa. The sky is sunny. Winds are coming out of the Northeast, but are barely registering at a calm 3km/h. Due to the calm winds; a light haze can be seen above the city. The dew point is 37° C.

Station Model HW * -5 -10 105 Temperature = -5˚C Weather Condition = snow Dew Point = -10˚C Wind Speed = 37km/h Wind Direction = West Clouds = Stratus Cloud Cover = Partly cloudy Air Pressure = 105kPa -5 * -10 105
